The Centre t is a Grade II listed building, originally constructed in 1890.
Original designs for what was at first a children’s school were by J.P. Seddon, but were completed by local architect William Henry Cox Fisher.
Fisher’s friend William Cowle, a local developer and public health advocate, had long wanted the town to have a Science Institute. On his death in December 1899 he left a bequest for its founding. Fisher, as executor, arranged for £2,000 to be used to complete the Lansdown building.
It opened in 1909 as home to both the science museum and Stroud’s School of Art. The busts you see on the outside depict Victorian scientists Michael Faraday, Thomas Henry Huxley and Lord Kelvin, architect Charles Barry, poet and artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and painters Lord Leighton and JMW Turner.
From 1930 to 2001 the building housed the Stroud Museum, which is now in Stratford Park.
